visit my shop

Fancy Shops & People I have found along the way

January 15, 2011

Day 2 in Atlanta and the sun is shining.

So much progress was made yesterday in the quest for amazing stuff. Didn't take a ton of pictures but I am super excited about the new companies I found. Friday night was my annual dinner with the girls. A bunch of us from a retail blog I belong to go out and have dinner. It is so much fun. We went to a swanky restaurant in the Buckhead section of Atlanta. It is super popular with a hip chef (What do shop keepers watch on T.V., Top Chef, we are all big fans) and the hard to get reservations etc. Well it was a disaster. Took an hour to order food. 4 of us ordered the expensive and delightful sounding lobster. They were out by 7:30 p.m., then all the food tasted way too salty. Crazy, but we had so much fun it didn't matter. They didn't mess up my orange vodka, pineapple juice and champagne in a chilled stem glass so I could handle the other problems.

Happy to report the sun was shining yesterday and snow is starting to melt. There is tons of it but at least it isn't icy anymore.

I got caught up in how behind I am and promise to be better today about picture (I am headed off to the high-design section and that is what you will want to see). Here are a few shots of the good, the bad and the ugly. You decide...

Hi, Barbara, I've just found you by searching out some way to revamp my blog!! LOL At any rate, I just want you to know that I've copied out your Orange Pecan Scones recipe and want to share it on my bookish blog. I'll be giving you credit for it and a link to your blog. Just wanted you to know in case (and I hope..) people stop by.
